Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of direction-finding and more precisely that of the location of sources by determining the direction of arrival of the signal emitted by these sources.
  • the invention relates to a method and a single-track localization system, that is to say for which the receiver used has only one reception channel associated with an antenna array of small base or small diameter.
  • the invention is particularly adapted to a switching of the reception channel between the different elements of the slow antennal network before the duration of a symbol of the source signal.
  • source localization is intended in particular to determine the number of sources emitting a given signal in a given radio environment as well as to determine the directions of arrival of the signals emitted by these sources.
  • a source location method includes, in a broad sense, any method of direction finding, source separation, spatial signature identification, or source direction vector identification.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a method and a system for locating sources from the signals emitted by these sources and received by a single-channel receiver associated with an antenna array of small base.
  • the system produced must have a manufacturing cost and a limited space, especially for integration into a portable equipment equipped with a small base antennal network. It must also allow to relax the constraints on the calibration of said network.
  • the method according to the invention makes it possible, in particular, to carry out an analysis of the received signal in a continuous or quasi-continuous manner and consequently applies to a large number of different signals transmitted according to different forms.
  • continuous or discontinuous waves for example waveforms associated with TDMA type protocols or related to frequency evasion mechanisms, wide or narrow frequency band, and this, in any type of radio environment stationary or non-stationary, even complex, in the presence of interference or interference.
  • the known monovoic systems also have a limitation which concerns the discontinuity of the observations made. Indeed, when the direction-finding system has only one receiving channel, it switches, via a switch, on the various antenna elements of the network. A discontinuity related to the switching time thus appears on the global observation made on the antennal network. This problem is impacting because it requires to increase accordingly the switching speed and the sampling frequency and to reduce the integration times.
  • a discontinuous observation results in degraded performance for signals to be located which are emitted in a so-called stepped waveform, or "bursts" in English. This type of signal is characterized by rapid non-stationarities of the waveform in contrast to a so-called continuous waveform. Discontinuity observations is also problematic when it comes to discriminating multiple sources emitting simultaneously.
  • the principle of these solutions is based on a fast switching of the antenna pattern, in times much shorter than the symbol duration.
  • the antennal network is composed of several antennal elements, the majority of which are in open circuit and serve as concentrators. At a given moment, the voltage across a single element is measured.
  • a diode-based control circuit is used to independently activate each antenna element to form the desired antenna pattern and thereby perform fast switching.
  • the interception capacity is reduced because the generated antenna pattern is directional, the "parasitic" antennal elements being mainly used as reflectors to increase the antenna gain in the main direction of the diagram.
  • the invention aims to remedy the aforementioned limitations of the prior art by proposing a single-direction direction-finding solution adapted to a slow switching of the reception channel on the various antenna elements of the antenna array.
  • the invention makes it possible to reconstitute a quasi-continuous observation of the input signal by exploiting the couplings and the mutual influence between antenna elements.
  • the invention thus makes it possible to produce statistical estimators of the signal observed over long integration periods in order to significantly improve the performance of the source separation processes or the determination of the direction of arrival of a signal.
  • statistical estimators M Q , X ' Q , M Q , S Q , M ⁇ Q , X Q are moment estimators or Q-order cumulants.
  • statistical estimators M Q , X ' Q , M Q , S Q , M ⁇ Q , X Q are cross-product, variance, covariance or quad-covariance estimators.
  • the statistical estimator of order Q M Q , S Q of the modulation function of the transmitted signal S is estimated on sets of multiple time values of the switching period ⁇ t from the prior knowledge of the modulation of said signal S.
  • the statistical estimator of order Q M Q , S Q of the modulation function of the transmitted signal S is estimated on a sequence of reference symbols known a priori and contained in said signal S.
  • the successive sampling at the output of each radiating element is carried out according to a circular commutation.
  • each mutual coupling coefficient between a first and a second radiating element is determined by imposing a voltage and / or by injecting a current across the first radiating element and by measuring the voltage and / or the current across the second radiating element.
  • the location of a source consists in determining the direction of arrival of the wave emitted by this source.
  • the source localization method is chosen from the following methods: a correlative interferometry method, a vector correlation method, an adaptive channel formation method, a subspace method with order two or four, or a JADE method.
  • the invention also relates to a receiver system for locating sources each transmitting a signal S comprising an antenna array composed of a plurality of radiating elements, a switch for successively sampling the output signal of each radiating element, a reception channel comprising an analog-to-digital converter and analysis and calculation means comprising a calculation unit and a database, containing the predetermined values of the coupling matrix C of the antenna array, characterized in that the analysis and calculation means are adapted to implement the method of locating sources according to the invention.

  • the set of samples x ' 1 , ... x' N made during the duration N. ⁇ t form a vector X 'of the output signal of the antenna array 101.
  • the samples x' 1 , ... x ' N of this signal X ' are taken from several successive symbols K of the signal received due to the slow switching of the switch 102.
  • each component of the vector X ' is equal to sampled sampling at a time t + k i ' ⁇ t of the output signal of a radiating element of the antenna array.
  • the switching period ⁇ t also corresponds to the spatial sampling period of the received signal. Indeed, the same signal is received by the different elements of the antennal network and the exploitation of the spatial diversity in reception makes it possible to better characterize the signal in order to identify its direction of arrival.
